15."I'm 20; I go to school, work, and take care of my 18-month-old. Her father and I are married, and happy. Breaking all kinds of stereotypes and statistics over here."

16."I perform in The Rocky Horror Picture Show! This is a pic from our Harry Potter-themed show where I played Janet Weiss. We perform once a month, and after having my son, I still have fun doing this with my husband!"
